The connections module displays connections from all IP addresses within the system.  
The Settings sub-menu allows for configuring several system parameters and for updating the system. The Allegro Network Multimeter is designed to work out-of-the-box in most installation scenarios. Therefore there are no mandatory options that must be configured before using the system.


In contrast to the per-IP connection list this allows to identify the largest connections among all IPs.
* [[Global settings]]
The module iterates through all IP connection lists and gather the top 1000 elements according to the active sort and filter parameters. The list always only contains up to those 1000 connections, but any complex filter can be used to see elements which are otherwise not visible.
* [[Module settings]]
 
* [[User defined names]]
Since the operation can be quite costly, the table will not be updated regularly.
* [[Management interface settings]]
Instead, an update button can be clicked to retrieve the current data.
* [[Multi-device settings]]
However, table modifications, such as changing the sort order, selecting another page or selecting a time period, will update the table automatically.
* [[Administration]]
 
* [[Time settings]]
The actual data displayed for each connection is identical to the connection table per IP ([[IP module]]).
* [[Filter|Ingress Filter]]
 
* [[Module-specific Filter]]
The list content is always limited to the top 1000 connections, but if
* [[Remote access and export]]
accurate result counters are necessary, the option for "slow but exact
* [[User Management]]
counters" can be enabled. This will slow down the calculation but the
* [[Firmware update]]
total number of matched connections will be displayed even if it is
* [[License upload]]
greater than the 1000 connection limit.
 
== CSV download==
 
The CSV download button allows to download the connection data of all
connections regardless of the 1000 element limit as a CSV file.
 
The currently entered filter is applied, but sorting is ignored for
the output.
 
Most columns are available in the CSV output. The first line contains
a description of each column. See [[IP module]] for details what each columns means.
 
Only a single download can be active at the same time as it takes some
time to generate the file.
== Overview tab ==
 
This tab shows statistics about the number of connections analyzed by the system.
 
The '''New connections''' counter shows the total number of new connections or the number of new connections during a selected time interval. The graph next to it shows the history of the number of new connections per second. Connections excluded due to a filter are not considered here.
 
The '''Active connections''' counter shows the current number of active connections analyzed by the system. It changes to '''Active connections average''' if a time interval is selected and then shows the average number of connections that were active during that interval. The graph next to it shows the history of how many connections were active at a certain point in time.
 
The '''Filtered Connections''' counter shows the total number of connections excluded due to the [[Module-specific Filter|IP Connection Filter]] during a selected time interval. The graph next to it shows the filtered connections per second. These counters are only shown once a filter is active.
 
== REST API access ==
 
The following URL returns the CSV list as a download:

The Settings sub-menu allows for configuring several system parameters and for updating the system. The Allegro Network Multimeter is designed to work out-of-the-box in most installation scenarios. Therefore there are no mandatory options that must be configured before using the system.
